No, he does not, he did not say that he wants that.
Of course, he wouldn't say it directly, but he wouldn't would he? Try not to use the words 'conspiracy theorist' in your eagerly awaited response.

No idea who Kurt Schwab is. The president of the WEF is Klaus Schwab. And pretty sure he's never said he wants everyone to have a chip implanted in their brain or, indeed, in any other body part.
SOOO sorry I got his name wrong. , that is a VERY important point, changes everything. I am 100% sure that that's what he said on a video, but of course if you think everything is a conspiracy theory then you''ll never watch unwoke news sources (Whoops, no such word, SOOO sorry).

OP here.... I might have mentioned that at one point there were SEVEN Amphur employees gathered around, they were very helpful, only took three hours. Plus the two guys that turned up for the 'Welcome to Thailand' foto. Can't complain, but still a bit mystified.

Anybody see the video where Kurt Schwab, president of the WEF, wants everyone to have a chip implanted in their brain? "Think of that".. he thinks it'll solve everything, can't even imagine that some may not want that. You'll be able to use it for getting social credit points, permission to travel abroad, to support the latest official line, spend money, say what you think. You can't change human nature, but you can change human behaviour. This isn't a conspiracy theory, they keep telling us what they want to do and nobody listens.

It's not needed, but I find it very convenient to have. Just saving trips to Imm & paying for a CoR is enough. I've had 3 yellow books, and one of the easiest docs for me to acquire here.
Only thing easier to get, was Pink ID, and taking 5 mins at the same office, same day.
Not sure why others find it complicated. Simply walk in, ask for it, provide blue book & PP, and walk out with yellow book. Really was that easy each time.
Well obviously things are different from one Amphur to the next and nobody seemed able to provide the correct information. They insisted on having a translation of my passport, which included making sure that our names on the marriage certificate would, in Thai, be the same as in the Tabien Baan. We met somebody else at Chaeng Wattana that was doing the same thing, they said we had to go to our embassy for a translation first. These were the only people giving out information apart from doubtful looking touts outside offering their services. We then paid a translation agency near the embassy to finish things for us, could have done it all by post really.

My wife recently decided to sort out various land ownership conflicts, coming from the fact that the land we live on was divided up between family members at the time of her father's death. We needed a lawyer for this, even though there is no contesting our intentions. He told us that it would be better if I got a yellow house book (Tabien baan), for reasons that still remain obscure to us.
The general consensus amongst ex-pats seems to be that it isn't necessary. However we found that the local Amphur were very enthusiastic about me going forward with obtaining the book and when we finally got the book two senior officials appeared and a group foto was taken. "Welcome to Thailand" was written on a prepared sign behind us ... I've been here for 11 years. . anyway, I guess I will no longer need a residence certificate every time I buy a house, renew my driving licence or open a new bank account. It wasn't an easy process and mostly our fault, the visit to Chaeng Wattana was most frustrating and in the end unnecessary, also with hotel, travel, embassy and translation services kind of expensive.
It is still a mystery to me why I need this book.

Thanks! I didn't realise that this was privileged information. Recommended dosage varies from situation to situation, took me some time to get it going.

I got my last certificate of residence at immigration, cost ฿500 and the place isn't a seven hours drive away, as is my embassy. I believe that having a yellow house book (Tabien baan) will do away with the need to get a certificate for most purposes. but is no longer as easy to obtain as in the past.

Just keep trying whatever takes your fancy, some stuff will work, some won't. I am particularly proud of growing peppercorn, always have Pak choi, Chinese cabbage and Pak bung going, I let pumpkins grow, cherry tomatoes (although they generally don't like having wet leaves). Papaya, chili, also volunteered themselves and I let them grow, dragon fruit and passion fruit, Moringa is a valuable source of nutrients, + various herbs like turmeric and ginger etc. The wife likes a few medicinal herbs ... the list goes on, I'm always trying new stuff, ordering... discovered long pepper , growing really well, kabuk, tara, elephant jams, occasionally get broccoli to grow in winter if I'm lucky. Plenty of cow manure and other soil improvement materials available.

I don't think many people bother.
In Switzerland we had to contend with temperatures between -20°C and +40°C. That's a lot of expansion due to temperature. Much less here. Also although I have seen a lot of shoddy concreting jobs, none of the damage seemed to be caused by thermal expansion. I suppose you could buy asphalt in sacks and pack it in the day after concreting when you have removed the pieces of wood you thoughtfully put in every 5 - 8 metres.

What do you think is going to happen when clever Farangs (and Chinese) keep finding new ways of getting around the rules? I remember when Photoshop started to be used, bank statements were forged, etc. The first time an officer visited us at home about 9 years ago, he told us that he had already arrested 19 people that year (February) for fraudulent marriage extension applications, mostly Africans. We are waiting for a visa decision right now but the application seemed to go very well. I hope.

So every farm dog in the UK is a 'working dog". I did not know and impressed. The farms I know of had dogs, one might be, say, a German shorthair for hunting, beyond that no real emphasis on work dogs, just dogs.
Nope, didn't say that. A lot of them are just burglar alarms,

Looks very dry to me, but I guess you are watering at least once a week?
Not visible on the fotos is the possibility that the tree has been planted too deep, around here at least I get a barrow or two of earth in order to raise the plant a little. That does necessitate irrigation. Burrow around near the stem and see if you find any roots, which should be just beneath the surface.

The same reasons dogs were kept in Europe, North America and many other lands say a hundred years back. Not talking about urban pooches and Hi So people & pets of those times. You can still find that in many countries today, in what you would term 'western countries'.
You say you are struggling with it, I suspect you haven't considered the above, or have little knowedge of it.I have seen dogs in the UK lead the cows out to grass in the morning, opening and closing the gate after them. I think you haven't considered the fact that a farmer here won't take his dog with him and if he is sleeping out in the fields during the rice harvest the dog doesn't come along. They aren't and never have been, working dogs in Thailand.

57 minutes ago, ozimoron said:You quote from a known anti masking right wing vax denying source.
Possibly because only right wing publications are mentioning this. At last count, since Covid began, I think it was 28 studies made on mask wearing, Nearly all indicated that mask wearing against an air born virus is pointless. Instead of reacting "Oh, Daily Mail, so it's rubbish", maybe you should read it and follow the references to the scientific studies that have beeen done. Surgical masks are for use during surgery, they stop bits of bone and blood spattering on to the carers' eyes, nose and mouth.
I had to go to an extremely extreme further right than Hitler to get this reference, maybe you should do some research too: https://www.cureus.com/articles/93826-correlation-between-mask-compliance-and-covid-19-outcomes-in-europe#!/

The Chinese are big importers of durian and once the rail link to China is complete Thailand will suffer a deficit (price hike) of durian as well as many other fruits and vegetables.

I'm not in Chaiyapum but in my experience any cattle farmer will be more than willing to sell you dung. If it isn't mature (nice dry stuff a bit like peat) you can just stock it for a month or two. We have cattle and the son-in-law will put the stuff into sacks for you and deliver. Usually supplies you with a load of undigested weed seeds at the same time.

I agree many Thai doctors would be struck off the register in Western countries; however, there are some competent ones in the hospitals. My urologist is one of them.
One failing that seems to be almost universal here, only one doctor has ever asked for my previous medical history.
The average life expectancy of Thais is 77 years as of 2020.
IMO the ones dying before 70 can thank their diet of Lao Khao and sticky rice.
Yup. In our village, about half die of the "Lao Khao" disease. No way can you te;; rice farmers not to eat rice.
Doctors: none of them ask about your dietary habits or alcohol consumption either.

Started by Anutin, who has (had, hopefully) ambitions of becoming Prime Minister. He apologised for his remarks about dirty Farangs causing Covid. That particular outbreak was almost certainly caused by the illegal import of labourers from Myanmar. He later apologised, using the excuse " so sorry, I was addicted to Marijuana at the time".

If you can get it, maybe repatriation insurance in case of illness is a solution. Illness can strike suddenly and make you unfit to fly, so if your home country makes medical treatment available to you, this is the one to go for.

When I went for my last shot there were a few thousand others also waiting. It was no surprise that it took a few days for it to turn up on the Mor Prom app .
I use the Line app and Morprom (หมอพร้อม) send me an update on my vaccination status every week.

You might want to try with diluted wood vinegar, I got rid of caterpillars on my "Maraa kie nuk" (sour melon) applying this.

Most of the microorganisms in the soil are beneficial, and in fact work to suppress the pathogens (harmful root-rot microbes). Sterilizing the soil will kill off the beneficials and set you up for an ongoing plague of root rot, plant losses and chemcial dependency.
During a transition period while you are building the beneficial soil biology to optimum levels, you can drench with a biological fungicide for suppression of plant pathogens.
.. which is why most stupid professional tomato growers frequently sterilise their soil. Nobody can grow members of the nightshade (tomato, tobacco, peppers etc) around here. I dare you to say that this is due to poor soil management as you usually do. A few kilometers further on I have even seen wild tomatoes growing in the hedgerows. Fusarium is almost impossible to eradicate once it is in the soil, also it is transmitted by insects. and recommending stuff only available in the US won't help anyway.
I grow my tomatoes in pots, using unsterilised (no need for that I think) compost, and get a decent crop though I am still experimenting with different varieties.
I base my knowledge on many years of experience not on Google.
Maybe I'm having a bad day...

Did you listen to what he said? He's salivating at the thought of getting the world population thinking correctly. What's the opposite of a conspiracy theorist? Living in Cloud Cuckoo Land?
